Does anybody care?

Form a happy acquaintance with your youth.--Very much has been lost to the cause of God because of inattention to the young. Ministers of the gospel should form a happy acquaintance with the youth of their congregations. There is a great reluctance on the part of many to become acquainted with the youth, but it is accounted of Heaven a neglect of duty, a sin against souls for whom Christ died. The youth are objects of Satan's special attacks; and the manifestation of kindness, courtesy, tender sympathy, and love, will often work the salvation of those who are under the temptations of the evil one. The love of Jesus will win you an entrance into the hearts of the young; and when you have obtained the confidence of the youth, they will listen to your words and take your counsel. You should bind them to your heart by the cords of love, and then instruct them how to labor in the cause of God. The youth may labor for their young companions in a quiet, unpretending way. This branch of God's work must not be neglected. Our churches are not doing what they might do for the youth. There seems to be no burden for souls for whom Christ died. Why should this labor for the youth in our borders not be thought the highest of missionary work? Why do the ministers leave the young without endeavoring to win them to Christ? Why do they not urge the young to give their hearts to God? This work will require the most delicate tact, the most thoughtful consideration, the most earnest prayer that heavenly wisdom may be imparted; for connected with the church are those who are not ignorant of our faith, yet whose hearts have never been touched by the power of divine grace.--RH Mar. 24, 1891. {PaM 275.1}

Dear God,
please help.

Can anyone answer my question?

If Jesus provides for us the gift of eternal life and has made provision for salvation, why is it necessary for people to still die? Why can't he just give believers eternal life immediately? why must believers face the first death?

"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." So if Jesus has paid the price, why do people have to still face death? (the first death)

Hey Karen,

good idea in keeping in mind to maintain our youth room clean and comfy.
We are the ones who shud wash and if necessary raise money to have it changed.
While we are on this subject, probably just want to highlight that there is church cleaning day once a year, and wud love to have every1 to participate.
Let's start participating once a year, and hopefully when thers a need, we can organize
another cleaning day.

As for curtains, shud we decide to have curtains, then you will request this to the church board,
and the church board will decide whether they have funds for it.

As for as I know, that is not included in our budget, it is more like maintenance or asset or something which has a budget of their own.

Upkeeping our Youth Room

Hey guys

Do you think that we should get curtains for our youth rooms? Remember that we wanted to get? is it necessary?

Also, do you think we should wash our cushion covers some times? (i think one of the cushions has Rachel's pee on it. Which one, I DunNO Man)

Hey quickly reply me. i need to send in the budget by 22nd night. That is thurs night. Then it's AENON HERE I COME!!!

i hate titles, once again.

Allo allo, fellowship of the book.



having been at the meeting (briefly) and reading karen's post, here are some thoughts.


For the youth outings,
i think we need to hear from everyone where they want to go. start a poll, tell karen or anyone else where you'd like to go with the youth, and together we'll try to make it happen.

Here some ideas:

-Sentosa
-East Coast Park
-Johor Bahru Day-Trip?
-Pulau Ubin?
-Night Cycling? (Alternatively we could inquire if we could join up with jurong, whom i'm helping out with their night cycling trips)

But my only reservation is that i dont think we should get funding from the church for our youth social projects, if you know what i mean. for social gatherings, expenses should be from our own pockets so as not to tax the church further.

same applies to outdoor sabbath, please do give suggestions on locations and activites etc.


oh and just an inquiry, Whats AY?



anyway, honestly, i'm actually quite excited about some afternoon programmes like the visitation. i remember how i kinda looked forward to going for visitation till evening, then dinner with everyone, and finally games. i think a good afternoon programme would kinda make our saturday afternoons more meaningful.

so heres a new year ahead of us, and lets do something productive with this year.but last but not least, i think that as much as we can brainstorm, think and plan, what we HAVE to do as a youth group is to MATERIALISE our plans. and it really isnt by sitting around and lamenting about how someone else isnt doing it, but helping each other out to get the job done and lets give Karen all the support she needs.


signing off,
